Hi All,
I was hoping to get some help with a problem I am now having with my
installation.
Prior to yesterday I hadn't updated my cygwin installation for about
about 3 weeks or so.
I updated by running the "setup" application and initially downloaded
everything locally from my favourite mirror, then ran setup again and
installed what needed to be updated.
I noticed in the process of updating that the heirarchy changed with
the addition of the X11 category and I now have the xorg-x11-XXX packages
installed (versions 6.7.0.0-X)
The problem is now that when I start "X" and try to run things suck as
xclock and xterm I get a windows dialog box appearing telling me that
xterm is unable to locate the DLL cygXft-2.dll in the specified path
and lists the search path which includes C:\cygwin\bin,
C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin plus a whole lot of other windows directories.
I have searched under C:\cygwin for this dll and cant seem to find it,
I do have a cygXft-1.dll in C:\cygwin\usr\x11R6\bin but not a "-2.dll"
I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this ?
I have tried a few things such as re-installing the X11 packages etc
but all to no avail.
thanks, Mark
PS. If there is anything I can post in terms of logs etc, please let me
know.
